Questions We Get a Lot
Assembly is designed to be handled by the homeowner using the hardware and instructions included with the structure. Most customers complete it over a weekend with a second set of hands. No specialized tools or trade experience required.
Louvered pergolas use rigid, adjustable slats that you rotate to control light and airflow — they hold up better in rain and give you more precise shade control. Convertible canopy models use a fabric cover that you can open or close, which tends to be simpler to operate and often comes in at a lower price point.
Aluminum is the standard for outdoor structures built to last because it doesn't rot, warp, or rust. The louvered models in this collection also include integrated drainage channels so water moves off the roof instead of pooling. That said, like any outdoor structure, anchoring it properly to your deck or patio surface is part of making it weather-ready.
We offer 30-Day Returns — see our Return Policy for the full details on how to start a return and what the process looks like. Because these are large freight items, we'd recommend reviewing the return policy before ordering so you know exactly what to expect.
About Our Pergolas
A pergola is a freestanding or attached outdoor structure designed to define and shelter a space — a deck, patio, garden, or backyard — without fully enclosing it. Unlike a basic shade sail or umbrella, a well-built pergola creates a room outside: somewhere you can set up furniture, host people, or simply spend time without being chased in by the weather. The key decisions when choosing one come down to size, roof type, and material. Aluminum has become the go-to material for modern pergolas because it resists rust, holds its finish, and requires almost no seasonal maintenance. Roof type matters most for how you'll actually use the space — fixed louvers let you dial in light and airflow, while canopy systems offer a simpler open-or-close experience. Size should be matched to your actual footprint: measure the space you want to cover and account for any local setback or permit requirements before you order. A pergola built to the right spec for your yard is one you'll use year-round, not just on perfect days.
